Episode 54 • Imogen Cunningham Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle

I Dream of Cameras

We’re Feckless in Seattle for Episode № 54 of I Dream of Cameras, which features a visit to an amazing local camera shop, Gabe’s adventures at Los Angeles photography meetups, a dip into our perpetually prodigious mailbag, talk of Mamiyas and Pentacons and Pentaxes, and more!

Gabe reviews a few key cameras of 1969:

Pentax 6x7

Olympus 35SP

Hasselblad 500 EL Apollo edition

A dip into the prodigious mailbag

Gabe’s visit to a recent Los Angeles Photography Club meetup

Also, check out your local Beers and Cameras photowalk

Gabe's preferred shooters these days: the black Canonflex RM and Pentacon Six TL

Jeff's results from shooting the Heavenly concert in London: could pushed HP5 be better than Kodak or Ilford 3200?

Jeff’s Mamiya 35mm SLR saga: the 2000 DTL improbably works perfectly, the 1000 DTL’s meter is dead, the 55mm f1.4 lens is radioactive

A Lacquer-Stik (black or white) is a very useful tool for restoring camera logos

Jeff's visit to the amazing Shot on Film Store in north Seattle, and what he bought there:

a gorgeous black Pentax H3

Konica 40mm f1.8 pancake

Olympus A16 flash for the Olympus XA series

Kodak Ultramax 400

Preparations for upcoming Central European trip incl. fear of taking a loaded camera through airport security ‘cause they won’t hand-check it

how does Jeff post swipeable panoramas to Instagram? the Swipestagram app

Fred Coury got a Leica Q2!
